Our leftists and rightists have always supported foreign dictators who appeal to their base of voters.

        Well Frankie all this shit Obama handed over. How much territory does ISIS control? - PBHangingChad - 12:59pm 2/18/19
        How much territory did the insurgency in Iraq control when they killed thousands of Americans? - Frank L - 1:05pm 2/18/19

        That's what you've got? Obama fucked over other countries therefore Trump is good? - jimbasil - 12:36pm 2/18/19
        No I agree Trump is reckless and unpredictable. Obama was weak and vulnerable - PBHangingChad - 12:51pm 2/18/19
        It was worse than that of yer hanging Chad hero? [NT] - Frank L - 12:52pm 2/18/19

    - Well said - Chris94 - 10:58am 2/18/19
    - The list of past nuts we've "chosen" as our "leaders" makes one wonder if we are all sleepwalking? - Curly1918 - 10:52am 2/18/19
      - You paint with way to broad a brush. Most, whether I liked them are not, were patriots - Frank L - 11:07am 2/18/19
        I respectfully disagree. Politicians are politicians first and... only patriots only by accident. - Curly1918 - 12:00pm 2/18/19
        And I usually am against that support, but it is normally given because the prez AND his advisors - Frank L - 1:26pm 2/18/19
- Go see the movie “Vice” and repost about our intelligence community [NT] - PBHangingChad - 9:37am 2/18/19
  - Cheney overrode our intelligence community - Chris94 - 9:39am 2/18/19
    - Total BS both the CIA and MI6 told the world about WMD’s and even Powell caved in to the BS [NT] - PBHangingChad - 9:41am 2/18/19
      - Putin’s boys thought they had them as well. [NT] - Frank L - 10:19am 2/18/19
        Just shows that Putin like the IC doesn’t know shit. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 10:28am 2/18/19
        Goes to show that the IC prediction game can be just that. It wasn’t Putin by the way. - Frank L - 10:36am 2/18/19
      - Google “office of special plans,” champ - Chris94 - 9:46am 2/18/19
        CIA didn’t know Russia was going to invade Afghanistan. Libya, Syria? - PBHangingChad - 10:06am 2/18/19
        IC makes plenty of mistakes and misses much. But they are right way more than they are wrong. - Frank L - 10:19am 2/18/19
        I agree if he said it. He was fired by the IG for lying 3 times. Why hasn’t he been indicted? - PBHangingChad - 10:26am 2/18/19
        Changing the subject I see. Ask Barr why he hasn’t been indicted. He was being investigated, no? - Frank L - 10:35am 2/18/19
        No your statement is based on a known liar but you believe him - PBHangingChad - 10:39am 2/18/19
        I never said it was true. I did say that it hasn’t been denied and it fits with other comments that - Frank L - 10:48am 2/18/19
        You know what bothered me if true. Is telling him that his wife was a loser. Trump can be a punk [NT] - PBHangingChad - 11:00am 2/18/19
- So, you’re both acknowledging and justifying the coup attempt you previously denied? - BaronVonZemo - 9:28am 2/18/19
  - See below. Coup = stupid beyond words. - Chris94 - 9:38am 2/18/19
    - So all of IC leaks, starting pre-inauguration, were also part of a reasonable 25th discussion? - BaronVonZemo - 9:46am 2/18/19
      - Try to understand this - Chris94 - 9:51am 2/18/19
        “Patriots”?! That’s a term you can only use when the coup is successful. Line by line now...... - BaronVonZemo - 10:11am 2/18/19
        You just keep on saying “coup” - Chris94 - 10:22am 2/18/19
        The word is far more accurate than the word “patriot”. The investigation was not sanctioned, also - BaronVonZemo - 2:34pm 2/18/19
        
        Except it’s been proven that Comey and McCabe both were swayed by... - Domer From Hell - 9:58am 2/18/19
        False. You don’t understand the difference between “proof” and “allegation” [NT] - Chris94 - 9:59am 2/18/19
        ...and we need a trial for treason to discern between the two. Sounds like we agree. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 10:15am 2/18/19
- I am sure the fact that Rod was behind pursuing the 25th amendment to remove Trump - IrishMac - 9:28am 2/18/19
  - The point was, they were all looking into the 25th amendment and serious about wearing a wire into - jimbasil - 11:57am 2/18/19
  - I am more amazed that Trump and Rush so easily convinced so many that it’s a “coup” - Chris94 - 9:37am 2/18/19
    - I am more amazed that they thought they had enough to convince a cabinet of Orange loyalists. - Frank L - 10:23am 2/18/19
      - Agreed. As always, there may well be more to this than we know. [NT] - Chris94 - 11:52am 2/18/19
        Has to be. Rosenstein didn't say this wasn't a serious consideration. He just deflected. [NT] - jimbasil - 11:59am 2/18/19
  - And of course, Chris thinks that Trump should trust the guys he knew were trying to shaft him. - BaronVonZemo - 9:36am 2/18/19
    - he has blinders on [NT] - Hank the Tank - 1:28pm 2/18/19
